Print Recipe Pin Recipe

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup Herbal Tea or Water
  • 1 cup Sugar
  • powdered sugar
  • peeled and chopped ginger about 1/4 cup

Instructions
 

  • Steep tea bags and ginger for about 10 minutes and strain.
  • Combine 1 cup of herbal tea with 1 cup of sugar. Make sure you do this on a tall pot so that there is plenty of room for the mixture to boil. Attach a candy thermometer to the side of the pot.
  • Heat on high heat stirring until the sugar dissolved and then don't touch it.
  • In the meantime, place a layer of powdered sugar in a shallow pan and make divots to pour the mixture into. I use the handle of a large spatula but anything will do.
  • Once the mixture reaches 300 remove the pot from the heat, and let it settle so that the foam from boiling subsided.
  • Then using a small plastic ladle to pour the mixture into the powered sugar.
  • Allow to cool until firm.
  • Toss in the powdered sugar to coat and place in an air tight jar.
